Amendment to political review law faces challenge

One hundred and twenty-two Sejm deputies have submitted a motion to the Constitutional Tribunal to evaluate the constitutionality of a recent amendment to the law on political review of former communist secret service workers. The deputies from the Law and Justice (PiS), Civic Platform (PO), Polish Families' League (LPR), Polish Peasants Party (PSL), and People's Conservative Alliance (SKL) parties believe the amendment introduces unclear regulations and treats citizens unequally. They also maintain that the Senate had not been entitled to change the law in such important details as the definition of "cooperation." (Rzeczpospolita, p. A4) M.K.
